ModelSearch - Similar things enjoy concealing themselves
Especially within databases, this can be a costly matter, with expenses reaching up to 3.400 euros for each needlessly generated new component, as reported by the VDMA. Therefore, it is crucial to conserve valuable resources, and ModelSearch can be instrumental in achieving this goal.
The software checks all changes to models fully automatically, continuously and, thanks to in-memory computing, at lightning speed and finds striking similarities between 3D models that are currently being created and existing 3D models as early as possible, both for individual parts and assemblies.
A total of 95 parameters are under permanent observation for this cross-check. These include conventional attributes like length, width or height, as well as distinctive properties such as the ratios of inertia tensors. The exceptional ModelSearch technology empowers designers to receive proactive suggestions for the most similar models. Effortlessly and seamlessly, as if by magic, without any need for intervention or interference. Vision accomplished.
